I have read quite a bit of (heated) discussion. But I am not entirely sure I completely get it.
I am used to running a multiple small vps that house only a few clients. Therefore I deploy a VPS with an affordable DirectAdmin license provided by the datacenter. These used to be around 5 euro. At some point they got increased to 8,50 monthly. Also at some point support from DiredtAdmin was pulled.
Lately I have noticed there is a mention of 'legacy codebase'. As far as I could tell DirectAdmin did an expirement with a pro pack that included extra features such as a WordPress toolkit, so basically a simple version of Installatron. Now they retired this pro pack but instead created a new license system that currently is not available for purchase through my datacenter. Only for 29 /month at directadmin.com. Is this correct so far?
Now I can actually still fire up new VPS and pay the 8,50 but it does show the legacy codebase flag. As I found out through another topic this means I cannot use certain features like WordPress feature. But I also found a topic stat stated new version of MariaDB will not be supported in the legacy codebase.
So if that is correct this would mean that even though Almalinux and/or cloudlinux 9 (I dont use it on all vps) are supported for the comming decade there is a big change that in 1-2 years I can no longer update mariadb? Or does this only apply to lifetime holders? Or is there a workaround? Because if that is the conclusion it suddenly does not make a lot of sense of installing a new vps with DA + cloudlinux 9 since it will stop working soon.
